weekend goodies


We have had a lovely weekend so far. Friday night we went to a restaurant called the Old Bore at Rishworth. Its a place I pass twice a day but we have never been in. I took this photo on the way home from work on Friday...


...then when we arrived at 7.30pm I took a few more photos-bit blurred but I think you can tell it's decorated like an old Scottish Hunting Lodge.


The menu is excellent and the service is also very good. We had a really lovely evening.



Now this meal was our Valentine meal. We always try to go out for a meal around valentines day, usually not on the day itself.

Saturday I went to my friends to bake chocolate chip cookies with her and her two daughters aged 7 and 10.


We did have a fun day, lots of licking of fingers and excited waiting for the cookies to bake. The girls all chocolated up, then went to play upstairs while we had a glass of wine and a good chat.

Today started sunny and I plan to do a bit in the garden and tonight we are going to see Sherlock Holmes at the cinema. Hubby bought me a card and a lovely felted purse with a heart on it from the Royal Exchange Craft shop in Manchester, am I not a Lucky Lady? I know Valentines day is not for everyone and I wish all my readers a happy day what ever they are doing today.



It is apt today the sun is shinning because I have received this lovely Sunshine Blog award from Bad Penny over at The Hen House. It makes me smile. I would like to pass this on to a few people new to me. They may want to pass it on to someone else or they may not, either way please pop over to see their lovely blogs by clicking on their name.

    Lyn,

    It sounds like you had a wonderful Valentine's celebration. The restaurant looks inviting and the homemade cookies look awesome. I too love chocolate and a good red wine. Nothing better.
